Here's the whole interview. Go to 26:30 to hear the scoop on the Nordstream event.
At the rate things are going sideways, the 50+ senators getting satphones this week is starting to make sense.
Wonder if there's a way to see how many have quietly bugged out from DC?
I’ve noticed the same. It’s uncanny.

Starting from 18:00 or so in the video is something Larry said which I think is very true and very important. Russia, having the largest land surface area in the world, is also the richest country in the world when it comes to natural resources, and now, also food (!). And now, Russia finally learned how to export its resources without being ripped off too much. And, can you believe it, some really stupid people in the west decided to sanction such a country, which has real material wealth, which a lot of other countries need badly.Very informative video:

They know that either the Russians are planning some type of attack, or the feds are planning a false flag. (On the power grid maybe?)
From the frying pan into the fire for all of us here pretty soon if more sensible heads don't prevail.
i dunno, they go on and on and speculate a lot on basically anything they find "on the line" but as far as i know, they aren't faking what they share.
''A Restaurant Owner & A Bunch Of Convicts'' aka WAGNER took on and beat Europe's largest and most well-funded army in Bakhmut there had to be some alcohol involved right!?
Well......., there is some sparkling wine in underground cellars and a whole factory that just happens to be the largest in Europe. Artemivsk Champagne Wines Establishments was signed into existence at the end of June 1950 by the order of Joseph Stalin, vinery is situated 72 meters deep underground in former Gypsum mines that provide an ideal environment for wine storage. Artwinery’s buildings occupy 16 hectares on the ground and 25 hectares underground. with a capacity of 25mio bottles per year its the largest champagne vinery plant in Europe
About 9 million bottles of wine were left after Ukrainians evacuated 1milion bottles, still there, deep in the winery in Bakhmut, on the frontlines of the war.During battle Bakhmut, battles took place on the territory of the champagne wine factory. All the buildings of the factory above ground were destroyed.

Any age estimations on the wine? Goes back to the days of Stalin ..?
Gotta be worth a chunk of change no?
The old stuff was probably 'evacuated' before the battle and given how long the battle lasted you can imagine ''evacuation'' of wine was an ongoing process. At its peak they had 50mio bottles aging underground.was always worth a chunk of change as was some of the premium stuff, but wine is generaly being aged in unlabeled bottles with codes on it , without original books on hand who knows what is what.
I can imagine enterprising individuals on front lines will be 'liberating' what is left in bulk , relabeling it as xyz and selling much of it of as cheap booze

remember at the start of the war, when Ukraine was saying they didn't have any small weapons to arm all their citizens....
And here's this cache, sitting useless.
No money to be made by using their existing inventory.
Some people and organizations are making a killing, while hundreds of thousands are slaughtered.
Same as it ever was.

Ukraine is losing 10,000 drones a month to Russian electronic-warfare systems that send fake signals and screw with their navigation, researchers say
Sophisticated electronic-warfare systems are contributing to the loss of about 300 Ukrainian drones a day, a new RUSI report found.

Generally I consider Breitbart to be pretty biased in it's reporting but having run this concept thru other sources I believe it to be true.Wagner Chief Warns of Russian Revolution over Ukraine War Failures

I wonder if this is why so much time, money, and weapons are being sent to Ukraine? Kinda like when the Wall came down in Berlin - We basically bankrupted Russia over the shit they were involved in in Afghanistan and the USSR tumbled down. Maybe it's cheaper to supply Ukraine with the materials and money to wreck Russia than dealing with them. Think about a world without Russia - Maybe they'll Balkanize.
Nahhhhh. Never Mind.

typical ruskie proganda; the agm-88 is not a cruise missile but a M=2 missile that would need highly sophisticated anti-missile tech.

Too funny. You pointing out propaganda.
America's best interests lay with Russia ending this war with total victory.
Ohh come on now. Don't get all pissy. Tell me some more about how the uke's are kicking Russian ass and that the Russians are not really in control of Bakhmut.
Even our own news sources indicate that the agm-88 aren't doing all that great.

Lots of Putin cocksuckers around here think he is a hero but Putin’s butcher has some doubts. Says the Russians better live like more like north korea for a few years or they will be reliving 1917 pretty soon.
RIGA, Latvia — Fresh off his claim of victory in capturing the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, Russian mercenary boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin warned that Moscow’s brutal war could plunge Russia into turmoil similar to the 1917 revolution unless its detached, wealthy elite become more directly committed to the conflict.
In a lengthy interview with Konstantin Dolgov, a political operative and pro-war blogger, Prigozhin, the founder and leader of the Wagner mercenary group, also asserted that the war had backfired spectacularly by failing to “demilitarize” Ukraine, one of President Vladimir Putin’s stated aims of the invasion. He also called for totalitarian policies.
“We are in a situation where we can simply lose Russia,” Prigozhin said, using an expletive to hammer his point. “We must introduce martial law. We unfortunately … must announce new waves of mobilization; we must put everyone who is capable to work on increasing the production of ammunition,” he said. “Russia needs to live like North Korea for a few years, so to say, close the borders … and work hard.”
“My advice to the Russian elites — get your lads, send them to war, and when you go to the funeral, when you start burying them, people will say that now everything is fair,” Prigozhin said in the interview.
Prigozhin’s rants often undermine Moscow’s official line and almost certainly would result in harsh punishment for anyone else. The country has outlawed criticism of the military and many citizens have faced prosecution.
While regular Russian military officials keep a lid on the number of casualties in Ukraine, Prigozhin said that 20,000 Wagner fighters had died in the battle for Bakhmut. Even if an undercount, the figure eclipses the last official number given by Moscow in September, when Shoigu claimed that 5,937 soldiers had died.
Military experts attribute such a high death toll among Wagner fighters to its commanders’ brutal tactics of sending waves of poorly trained convicts to exhaust Ukrainians, at times threatening the prisoners with death if they retreat.
Private military companies are technically illegal in Russia, but Prigozhin has operated with impunity, deploying his fighters to countries in the Middle East and Africa, and to Ukraine In Mali, Wagner soldiers are suspected of war crimes following reports of executions, torture, rape and abductions.
While Prigozhin has sought to cultivate an image of himself as a fighter, appearing in full battle gear on the front lines in countless videos, he falls squarely among the Putin cronies who have become billionaires off their government connections and contracts. Like his fighters, however, Prigozhin is also an ex-convict: He spent most of the 1980s in jail for robbery.
So far, Prigozhin remains unmatched in publicity, succeeding where some regular commanders have stumbled, in some cases in humiliating fashion.
Military experts, for example, pointed to a staged clip of Gen. Col. Alexander Lapin that emerged Tuesday, showing him commanding a small group of troops to fight off a mysterious two-day incursion in the Belgorod region, a staging area for Russian forces that borders Ukraine.
The clip, in which Lapin is seen walking alongside a convoy of armored vehicles shouting, “Go forward, guys! For the motherland,” was ridiculed by some Russian pro-war bloggers as “embarrassing” and “laughable.” Local officials, meanwhile, fought off questions from civilians alarmed about a breach in the border.
“I have even more questions for the Defense Ministry than you have,” Belgorod Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said in a live question-and-answer session with local residents after militias made up of Russians fighting on Ukraine’s side in the war stormed a checkpoint in Grayvoron district and infiltrated nearby villages.
Gladkov said Tuesday that one woman died while being evacuated during the attack, and eight people were injured. Russian officials claimed to repel the attacks, while the militias responsible said on Wednesday that they were still actively fighting inside Russian territory.
“We are living in a very difficult period,” Gladkov said in a separate statement. .”
The disruptions in Belgorod continued Wednesday, with multiple drones targeting a gas pipeline and residential buildings, Gladkov said.
In his interview, Prigozhin said there was an “optimistic scenario” for Russia’s war: Western support for Ukraine wears out, and China brokers a peace deal, allowing Russia to keep occupied Ukrainian lands.
“I don’t have much faith in the optimistic scenario,” he said, adding that instead Ukraine could partially succeed in a highly anticipated counteroffensive, pushing Russian troops closer to the borders that existed before hostilities began in 2014. They could also attack Crimea and continue pressing on in the east, armed with more Western weapons, he said.
“Most likely this scenario will not be good for us,” Prigozhin said. “So we need to prepare for a difficult war.”

Go fight and find out, basically any real Putin notcocksucker should put his feet where his mouth are (supposedly) not. Otherwise you’re simply an amusing and sometimes annoying (by reminding us “cocksuckers” how human stupidy can be infinite) sideshow regurtitating whatever propaganda feeds your emotions.
"IF PUTIN WANTS A 1-ON-1 FIGHT, THEN I'LL GIVE HIM A 1-ON-1 FIGHT! TELL HIM TO MEET ME IN THE ALLEY BEHIND THE ICE CREAM SHOP AT HIGH NOON AND I'LL BEAT THE BALONEY OUT OF HIM! ALONG WITH ANY OF YOU SCALAWAG PONY SOLDIER TWO-BIT REPORTERS THAT WANT TO ASK ABOUT HIM! C'MON MAN! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE BEFORE I GRAB YOU BY THE BOOTSTRAPS AND UHH...ahhh." was what the president supposedly said when asked by reporters about apparent comments by Vladimir Putin about challenging Pres. Biden in a fight.
